Songs that instantly remind you of a movie

There are several songs that instantly make me think of one movie or another but weren't written for the movie. I'll start with a couple, and y'all can add yours:

Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Her Goodbye - Remember the Titans (many more songs for that one!)

Right Back Where We Started From - Slap Shot

This song makes me sob every time I hear it. I think it's because I associate it with the video which features clips from the movie.

Songs that WERE in the movie that I can't hear without thinking of the films:
  • "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel - Say Anything
  • Wouldn't it Be Nice" by the Beach Boys - 50 First Dates (yes, it came out half a century earlier, but that scene with Adam Sandler on the boat just gets me every time!!
  • "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys - Love Actually
  • "Your Song" originally by Elton John - Moulin Rouge (Ewan McGregor did a cover of the song in the film, and he's "owned" it since!)
A song that wasn't in the film, but reminds me of it:
"These Boots Were Made for Walking" by Nancy Sinatra reminds me of Down With Love (starring Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger).

Isn't that the Beach Boys? It does it to me, too! I want that played at some point of my wedding!

And of course, "Shout" reminds me of Animal House!

God Only Knows is the Beach Boys.

Unfortunately, that song also reminds me of Boogie Nights and not in a good way.

Yes, I'm an idiot. I was talking to my husband about songs while writing this and he was talking about the Beatles.

Me, too!

I agree with honeychile. Not a movie, but there was an extra-long episode of the Animorphs and I think of it when I hear All I Have to Give by the Backstreet Boys. There's also "If You Had My Love" by J-Lo that reminds me of a Goosebumps special (b/c of the really dark beat to it).

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of any right now.

The Marvalettes -- You're The One & The Rolling Stones -- Can You Hear Me Knocking remind me of Casino.

Hearing that song always makes me teary eyed and not just because of Ghost. It's just such a powerful song. They picked the perfect song for that scene in Ghost.

I also love the Righteous Brothers. Their version isn't the first or last version but it's the only version that counts, in my opinion.

"Sweetest Thing" by Lauryn Hill always reminds me of Love Jones.

OK, in my aerobics class we're using the song "Two of Hearts" by Stacey Q. Unfortunately, all it reminds me of is this scene from Party Monster.

Oh and "Late for the Sky" by Jackson Browne - Taxi Driver.
